Is there an easy way to merge Localizable.strings files?

Question

Problem: Using genstrings to create Localizable.strings files from a project. A few weeks later, some things changed and I run genstrings again. 75% of the new file is already in the old file. How could I merge the new file with the old file, so that the old file contains all of those 25% new key-value-pairs?

Answer 1

What about 3rd party applications like BBEdit? After all Localizable.strings file is a text file. BBEdit has a find differences feature and you can merge from old to new or opposite.

Answer 2

I'm not sure but ReSharper may help you. teake a look at it.

Answer 3

If you install XCode, there is also a standard application installed to merge files called FileMerge.app, you can find it in /Developer/Applications/FileMerge.app
